    🎮 Why does everything feel… mid? In Episode 99 of the Disgruntled Middle-Aged Gamers Podcast, Grant Roland and Ed Phillips tackle the rise of “MID” gaming—those overhyped, overpriced AAA titles that launch with huge budgets but land with a shrug.

    From shallow gameplay loops and recycled formulas to live-service burnout and lazy sequels, we ask: Has gaming lost its edge, or have gamers just wised up?

    🎙️ In This Episode:

    • 🧠 What is “mid” gaming? Why the term is everywhere
    • 💸 AAA games with billion-dollar budgets and C-tier effort
    • 🔁 Copy-paste game design – Is innovation dead?
    • 🔥 Our picks for the most “mid” games of the past 5 years
    • ⚖️ Can indies and AA studios save gaming from creative collapse?

    🔥 Highlights:

    • Why marketing is now more polished than the games themselves
    • From Skull and Bones to Redfall – how the mighty fall flat
    • What “mid” means to casual vs hardcore gamers
    • Our vision for what studios should focus on in 2025 and beyond
